    Welcome to the group from Abbottstown , Pa. !
    I have to say , that is one Bad looking 56 Mainline you have there . A 351 Cleveland backed up with a 4 speed toploader and 3.92 gears to boot ! I know you have fun banging on those gears for sure ! Gotta be a sweet stop light car too !
    Very nice looking ride and a true cl***ic hotrod !

    Welcome from S.Georgia, I too have a 56 Mainline. Original 272 auto for now, but I have a lot of ideas. You have a nice ride.

    Hey & welcome from Michigan! That '56 of yours is a beauty. I like those cl***ic Cragars; if I was going to put chromes on mine they are what I'd use.
